Kit Kelen #1206 - dad's sad day


1206
dad’s sad day


of he died for us
and we forgot the fish
eat chips!
we must unfreeze them first

all the little lambs see angels

a face as graven silver, weep
he died for you
they all did

Lent left and Christmas coming  
hide me in an egg

track winding back
by stages

there are those I won’t see again
and gather close, my heart

I hear heaven chorded home
when the reception’s clear

every body died for us
and those I never met

bleed now
all will
and did
do now

has Dad been received by Him?
he chases ball with bat

and now Mum too
would not believe
ghost white as with her wits about

I hear heaven chorded home
when the reception’s clear

here, could you carry for me
it’s over the border to eternity
say ‘packed these bags myself’
hide chocolate in the truth

at the court of the immortals
don’t worry, we’ll all rise

lie down with lion
eat chips
fly fish

if only a salad for our garden
we’d knock at the gates
